A Romanian boy who stabbed a young Tokyo woman in the back in a mugging has explained that “stabbing her was simpler than threatening her” and that he needed her money “as I spent all mine at the arcade.”

The 17-year-old unemployed Romanian boy resided in Tokyo’s Musashino city, and explained that “I thought I’d rob someone as I spent all my money at the arcade. It occurred to me that it would be simpler to take their money if I just stabbed them, rather than threatened them.”

He approached a 22-year-old woman who lived near him and was returning from a local convenience store one night, followed her and then stabbed her in the back, inflicting a 17cm deep wound which pierced her lung and proved fatal.

After the crime he “spent some time at a manga cafe waiting for there to be less people about.”

He also claims to have chosen his victim at random, saying “We aimed for the people walking by alone, and I stabbed a woman who passed a few times from behind.”

He was also later charged with fraudulently using bank details after trying to use her stolen cards (he apparently did not realise he needed her PIN to withdraw anything), and police are also investigating the involvement of his Japanese acquaintances, suspected of being his accomplices.

Despite the juicy prospect of tying the crimes to the scourge of video gaming, the mass media have so far been more interested in playing up his wicked and not inconveniently Korean or Chinese foreign blood, although they have so far been silent as to the details of his background.

The case has already inspired a great deal of concern and the usual bashing of the lesser barbarian races (although it seems likely the boy was born in Japan and merely has Romanian citizenship):

“How did an unemployed Romanian youth end up living in Tokyo anyway?”

“It seems his father was Japanese, or at least his mother was married to a Japanese man.”

“He was probably ethnically Japanese, but with Romanian citizenship.”

“They wouldn’t even report his nationality if this was some dirty Korean!”

“They interviewed his father and he spoke fluent Japanese so this guy was probably raised here or something anyway.”

“This women he killed was 22 and working part time, yet according to reports had a ¥70,000 apartment – a hostess maybe?”

“We have to throw out all these foreigners before all Japan ends up like Tokyo!”

“Expect a ban on arcades.”

“Was probably actually a pachinko parlour but they didn’t want to write that for obvious reasons.”

“Even Japan has problems with Roma…”

“Foreigners are the reason Tokyo isn’t safe any more!”

“Even if he is young, this crime is outrageous. Slaughter this white pig!”

“This is the cultural level of all foreigners! The Japanese are a chosen people, we must stop letting in these types!”

“White religions often teach that non-whites aren’t even human, they just make fun of non-whites.”

“A 17cm wound is pretty deep. Not like he stabbed her indecisively a bunch of times as usually happens. A terrible thing in any case.”

“He must really have wanted cash for the arcade to do that. Hopefully he gets locked up for a long time.”

“Don’t they apply the death penalty for these cases?”

“For most murder-robberies, it is death or life. At 17 though I think it more likely he gets 5-10, life at worst.”

“Honestly, following someone out of a convenience store and then stabbing them in the back sounds like a pretty unlikely MO. More likely he had some particular reason for killing her, or was put up to it?”

2ch has of course also been busily investigating, and has dug up photos the perpetrator purportedly posted online, showing him perhaps as big a fan of purikura as his victim:

and here i am a Romanian living in Italy who loves anime and Japan but wondering what kind of sick Romanian would do this in another country until i figure out the mistake which is: ROMANS OR GYPSY’S ARE NOT ROMANIAN! i HATE and it kinda makes me sick when reporters make these kind of mistakes and i just wanna punch somebody :)). just kidding but it’s become too much when people instead of saying ROMANS they say ROMANIANS which degrades my people which are not angels by the way but they’re not even close to what GYPSY’S are. i live in a small town called DESIO in ITALY and i’m sick seeing GYPSY’S around here (they have a camp just outside town). they scare the crap out of me and i never even look at them unless they’re too close so i am forced to look at what they’re doing so that i can run if they try something. just to be clear: GYPSY’S ARE NOT ROMANIANS.

Man, the story here is sad and all. Poor girl got killed by some thug. Honestly though, why does race matter so much in a case like this when possibly, just guessing here, people in Japan get murdered by someone who is natively Japanese everyday or so. What makes this so different to that?
I really don’t understand why race is being brought into the whole equation of the matter. Its as if its deliberately opening the way for stereotypes, xenophobia, racism and that.

It happens here, in England. Well we’re heaving with immigrants from all four corners of the globe for one so these things are bound to happen, its just, if an incident such as this involves an “immigrant” or someone of descent from an immigrant, or related by family or such, there’s always some sort of shitstorm.

Hell, England here is quite the racist little country when it wants to be. Its usually the right wing media and nationalist sensationalist propaganda that throws these stories about but hey, not everything is all rainbows is it? 2013, not really the best of years.

Not surprised. Romanians are one of the worst scum in europe.
When you hear about organised crime gangs in western europe its often Romanian gangs. Romania is also co sidered to be the asshole of europe.
And soon these scum will flood England…

If they are so Xenophobic like you said you wouldn’t see so many different races there. Well I’ve been to Tokyo at least, met people from more different countries there then I did all my life here in America.

Also I guarantee you at least in Asia China is way more xenophobic from me being Chinese and have gone back many times, and Korea is most likely above Japan in the xenophobic scale.

All the stereotypes of Asians hating blacks in America, it was all done by Korean ran mini-marts.

Well, it’s certainly not the “number one xenophobic country”, of course. And you will be able to meet lots of different people from all around the world there but the vast majority of those are only temporary residents or tourists. As a long-term resident, you’re never fully integrated into the Japanese society.

It’s a delusion to think otherwise but you don’t really have to worry about it all that much. Most of their prejudices are relatively harmless and they have the decency to pretend a more open view.
You will always be the gaijin, your children will always be the halfs and their children will always be the quarters. And so on.

Open, violent hostility is really the exception. It’s there though. Like in every other country.

Yet again some idiot giving more bad influence to us foreigners. Even if one guy get’s the blame, the same does everyone else, and increases the bad influence on us.

I find it horrible that a asshole like this have no respect for human life and kills them to get money spend on everything. Instead of threatning the poor woman and let her life out her life, he threw away the woman’s next precious decades of her life. It’s obvious this guy is sick in the head.

so, most people here actually think he’s a gypsy or roma just going off the info that he’s Romanian? LOL… that’s even worse than assuming that everyone from Isreal or Jerusalem is religious, or that everyone in the USA owns a gun or supports the KKK.

Well, the course of this news bit could have easily been “We know only a few questionable facts and put emphasis on misleading sensationalism”.

There aren’t too many publicly discussed evidences for violent assaults in Japan (the majority is covered by a shroud of deception and silence)but when there happen to be some, it’s usually in connection with popular stereotyping.

Somehow i get the feeling that the actual crime here won’t be the main topic for most, inside or outside of Japan.

Man , look at all the hate. And when I come to think about the fact that I , a romanian , was an english teacher in a jappanese school for 4 years. And when you come to think I always thought of Japan as an awesome haven of knowledge and culture. But the upper comments filled with hate and biased oppinions just make me feel weary. Learn to inform yourselfs before hating: that douchebag is a naturalized jappanese fellow , if it would of been a jappanese nobody would of hated or flamed about it so much and plus of that , gipsyes (or rroma minority as they call themselves) are the problem of the whole world although there are some more than fine examples of what good gipsyes are. Nevertheless , the douchebah should be punished to the maximum extent of the law!

Ummm… yes. I know 2ch is like the piss bucket of the internet and the favorite hangout for radical fascist types, but damn, these comments hit a new low even for them. Especially as it turns out he might not be as “white” as would be convenient for their little tirades.

this guy isn’t a GYPSY (i fucking hate the word “roma”, we call ourselves romanian because we are descendants of dacians and romans, gypsies don’t deserve this name), his mother is a romanian and even if she was, are you going to start tracing every criminal’s family tree and if he has a family member that isn’t japanese you’re going to blame his nationalty for this guy’s crime? fucking retards, I love hentai but this shit makes me feel a great disgust when even thinking of these idiotic japanese, everything about them is arhaic, their primitive and inneficient language, their traditions (sony’s stocks dropped to like… 10% the moment they launched playstation 4, apparently the chingchongs think 4=death just because 4=shi and shinu=death)… everything about them is so BACKWARDS, except hentai because it gives me gud feeling in da dick

lol shut up roma, no one gives a shit about you and your piece of shit country, what has romania done for the world?, every time I hear anything about romania it’s always something bad. And you’re not doing any favors for your own by acting like that, hurr hurr “hentai give me feelz in da dick” pff lol

The whole world is full of assholes regardless of where, but it’s not right to say “fithy human” is it? We have to point out his “subspecies”, so that we too can continue to truth that we are all assholes.

Yay! Of course he couldn’t have done something awesome and gotten famous for it. No, the one fucking romanian cunt had to go and kill someone so if I ever get to visiting Animeland there’ll be one more reason to have to hide my place of birth like a god damned encrypted CP drive…

This really sucks when this kind of thing happens.
When I lived in Japan there was this gaijin mugger going around giving us all a bad name. I thought about catching the guy myself and kicking his ass to redeem the gaijin honor, but alas I never came across him. (He only targeted Japanese.)

He probably also would have steered clear of gaijan because they’re more likely to be looking out for trouble since muggings are more common in most other countries plus they tend to be bigger and scarier.

Yeah but Prison Guards in Japan are not a joke they are allow to put you in sleeper hold until you unconscious if you try to attack or piss them off they go by the old Military way of Disciplining prisoners that is harsher.

>Talk shit about white people and foreigners
>Japs don’t even have the balls to bring it up in real life when foreigners show up to fight
>Foreign gangs and mafia pushing out yakuza in their home turf in japan
>Japanese woman daily getting raped by foreigners and spineless ‘men’ of japan sit around getting NTR’d

Hey, gotta give the white man his dues, he fucking rules at raping little yellow bitches. Now if only we can let some blacks and browns join in the party, rest of humanity will be pen-pals before you know it.

most likely born and raised in Japan. Since your raising and life have more play on your personality and outcome than your blood, Its easy to say that it was in fact, Japan that let him down and any wrong doing of his is to be blamed on the society he interacted with driving his personality.

Though, he is also Romanian, and Every Romanian I have ever met is a total dick.

The original roma left India over 1000 years ago. That’s as far as their connection to India goes. Now, even people who have nothing to do with those roma are called roma or gypsies or travelers just because they live the same kind of lifestyle.

There is a misunderstanding. Gypsies are not all romanians. Gypsies are said to come from somevere in India where they are a separate chast, but even there they are hated by indians cause they do the same things as in Europe. Stupid CNN made them look like the most victimised race in the world, who want nothing more than to fit in. I know from personal experience that, there are some good people among them, but they are in the minority. Most live from social aid and dont work on purpose and they’r right. Why should I work for something I can get for free? My history teacher said once “You can only help those who want to be helped.” And they dont want help. They want easy money.

Ps: The gypsie girl was 14 when the incident happened. And there were about 40 eye-vitneses, one of them told that he saw the how the family burned thir ow bloody clothing after the beating and police hotline records said that then they called the police to pick up a racist drunk guy who is lieing on the street after he was knocked down for “risking a big lip”. The police filed this. It happened in the town of Olaszliszka Hungary

In my home country about 5 years ago a big scandal came out, cause a white male teacher ran ower a gypsie girl while he was driving his 10 and 8 year old daughters to school. The gypsie girl got a bruise on her arm. The guy stopped to help and call an ambulance and the girls family jumped him and linched him in front of his daughters eyes. Their trial is still going on and it turend out the family was the local maffia there. They terrorized their own neighbors, and forced other to take the blame for them.

Eastern Europeans as a whole have always been trouble. The lines on the map are there to encourage them to direct their hatred and thuggish ways against one another rather then towards the civilised world.

France is the country that brought the law that allows a woman to call the police on a man if the man was sizeing her up, and she does not like it. In short IF you are a MAN, YOU can go to jail in France for looking at a woman and she does not like your face.

Says someone living in a country that makes a business out of “idol” crap. While pop music is pretty bad the world over, at least the rest of it doesn’t force it’s vocalists to pander to their fan base by shying away from intimate human interaction.

This coming from a bunch of retards who barely got off the ground as a coherent nation until past 0 AD, while the west was developing mathematics, culture, infrastructure, sophisticated bathing and hygiene culture, arts, and proficiency in warfare while building a great empire that stretched from Atlantic to Caspian Sea?

These japs sound like they went brain dead from isolation of living in as an island nation their whole history. Whites, and indeed any other races are vastly superior to these inferior japs who have no idea how the world is run.

Japs are just like a bunch of mouthy 12 year olds who stepped into the wrong neighborhood with ‘please fuck me!’ sign on their backs.

Bullshit! They kicked the whites out in the 1600s
and went into a 250 year self imposed isolation
because they didn’t want to wind up being the
victims of proselytizing Christians or wind up
slaves to European powers like China,not even
owning their own country and drugged up on opium
by the Brits.
As far as bathing is concerned European never
bathed but once a year back in the 1600’s considering it unhealthy and the Japanese
considered them filthy which they were.
The only reason the isolation ended was because
of armed intimidation by the US and Britain who
threatened to level their towns and cities with
artillery unless they opened the country up.
That in turn started the civil war that led to
the Meiji Emperor.
And you wonder why the Japanese are suspicious
of foreigners?
Take you xenophobic bullshit somewhere else!

When you act like a bitch the first meeting with rest of the world, don’t expect the world to play nice with your attitude the second time around. Japanese got what they deserved, and you should watch your damn mouth on issues you obviously know nothing about.

08:30 A bitch like you shouldn’t be flapping your lips when you know nothing about unbiased history. Those people came, at worst, as aggressive merchants, not enslavers. Your definition of ‘slavery’ is when the world doesn’t let you do anything you want. You wonder why other people would think you are a bitch when you strut around with an attitude like that?

These filthy japs amusingly think the whole world revolves around their little fantasies. They thought that way 400 years ago, they still do. Other people are rightfully within their bounds to teach these little fuckers a lesson in manners.

Japanese are just thieves. They steal and corrupt original chinese language to their own very inefficient language, then tell fresh faced lies about how their language is ‘original’.

They steal pottery and crafting traditions from the mainland and once again, ‘modifies’ it and once again lie that they came up with it on their own.

They glimpse over at the technological and cultural influence of the west, take it to their own society and make deformed, ignorant imitation of the original and then pretend they are original.

They are hypocritical, infantile people who are insecure about having to learn everything else from the world and fundamentally without cultural or historical foundation that even remotely resembles originality.

Correction: Arabs sheltered, then betrayed the fleeing scholars from Europe, or otherwise swiped their knowledge and ‘preserved’ it just like a thief would ‘preserve’ a stolen good from a burning house when the owner was too busy putting out the fire to look.

This idiocy about how ‘all knowledge came from outside the west’ is pretty laughable. All original knowledge and socio-cultural structures that developed to this modern day is by majority originated, developed, and innovated in the west first. From the mathematics and its principles of quantifiable scientific discoveries, to forms of government, politics, philosophy, rationalism, and warrior cultures of the spartans to roman legions, the world owes the greeks and the west a great deal.

They cowardly try to confuse the issue to ignorants by distorting facts about lineages or traditions, or otherwise taking remotest tangents and re-interpreting or over emphasizing slightest implications of implications of a small scrap of mention in the ruins of their worthless civilization and calling that ‘being before the west’.

Here are the facts: People of the west and its civilizations came later than the original inhabitants of the present-day fertile crescent (not arabs or such present day people, they are just a mixture of people who have no claim to that of ancient times or their traditions), but before the east asians and still built the greatest civilization by far in the history of the world. All the arguments against the west that contrarians make is nothing but flimsy excuse-making exercise that try to capitalize on slight complacency and smallest exaggeration by the west about its history. They attempt to perceive anything that doesn’t put their own identity above everyone else as ‘so – and -so civilization’s ignorance’ while clearly ignoring that such standards can easily be applied to them back to destroy even their most basic claims as a civilization.

Western civilzation has no need to put efforts into proving anything about its legacy and potential to anyone. I look out the window and see its vast powerful influence everyday. Other people’s sad attempt at self-comfort is really amusing to say the least.

LOL dumb cunt. Check your facts again. Pythagoras and basics of mathematical line of thought which posited itself as a fundamental law of the universe was developed in the west way before some arab bitch tried to take credit for it.

You tend to get fucked if you don’t know real history and think you are right because some how you think you are being a contrarian.

The greeks did not “invent” mathematics. It is simply a notion that the current homogenized system stemmed from Greece that the present-day world retains for convenience and nobody’s ridiculous enough to want to come up with a unified definition as to what mathematics precisely is. Many cultures across the world came up with similar ideas over a wide time frame and it just so happened the greek “system” was adopted as standard.

Also Greece =/= west, it’s about as much a distant ancestor as Africans are to humankind.

Exactly. The idea of ‘numbers’ as ‘symbols expressing quantitative values’ is not actually the fundamental basis of mathematics, unlike what uneducated fools like to think. It is a useful tool, and ancient Indian numerals just happened to be the most fluid and useful one. Arabs always try to take other people’s cultures and claim it as their own – western ideas of mathematics, culture, and power were all its own ideas and non-westerners in the middle east today usurped it all from Phonecians and Greek outlying cities which were essentially European in character.

It definitely was the west and its ancestors, the Greeks, who invented and pioneered the amazing principle of mathematics in its most quintessential form in human history.

Of course, those butthurt fools are always trying to distort history and try to convince themselves west never came up with anything when in fact west for its size and population possessed disproportionate amount of talents and power that contributed majority of innovations and guidance of human history, as well as numerous ideas originating first, and to this day continuing in its original form, unlike all other cultures who were so keen on absorbing western values and now find themselves physically and spiritually prostituted to other people.

Wait a minute, the base numbers we use are definitely Indian or Arabian, but the major development of Geometries and Algebra (even if the word comes from the Arabian, “Al” after all) came to be developed by the Greek. Funny thing is that Europeans, using the knowledge from the Greeks to their further developed the Math to what we know of it.
Example of the this, is that their is no theorem or hypotheses with an Arab or Indian name on it.
If it with not be for the Greeks with would be counting grains, instead of calculating the size of the Earth based of the length of shadows.

16:24 Very convenient. Why, because they weren’t white and didn’t overall have blond hair or super muscular by majority? Greeks are the fore runner of the western civilization and genetically closest to the west, not the middle east or anywhere else. Do some research. You put forth your little ideas about people with pre-supposed imagination about what other people mean by west. ‘West’ is defined as region on this side of the Bosphorus aside from Turkey, no matter what relative difference in skin color or otherwise. No one is going to look at Greeks of old or today and say they are not Europeans.

Greeks, and by extension the original people that populated Europe from the earliest times of proto humans were fore runners of West today. By that same logic you can easily say Asians today are not asians at all, but simply people who displaced south east asians who are genetically more close to ancient pre-history real asian migrants who came first to that region.

Greece is, like it or not, much closer to West than any other places, and middle east is just a mongrel place populated by native Semites intermingling with african genetics much more. In fact, it is more accurate to say middle east was a part of the ‘west’ before islamic and mongol invasion created the mongrel race that is arabs today.

Also, there are certain founding ideas about mathematics that you are apparently not aware of. Trying to deflect the issue by saying ‘that’s not what I want to believe all there is to it’ doesn’t make it any less so. Greeks came up with a definitive ideas that were much more original and structured, earlier than any one else.

Facts are facts. You pathetic people always try to muddle the issue by over emphasizing and embellishing your own accomplishments, even outright fabricating your own history. West does not have that kind of bitch problem.

If you truly are a “black man”, please don’t make any more posts like this. You kinda sound like a porch monkey: “Good job mastuh! Let’s rape anutha one mastuh!”
Some of the white men you’re cheering on are looking at you in the same light as those Japanese are looking at that kid.
— Oh wait. This is Sankaku. Hordes of people post like this at the slightest opportunity. Never mind what I said. (As if anyone intended to…)

Well, well. What do you know about being a black man in a white man’s world, boy? You ever pissed in a colored latrine half your life?

White folks may be hatin but I’d prefer familiar devils over these yellow fools who clearly don’t know left from right. You see, between white folks you got dem white folks, and dumbass ignorant motherfuckers. Between yellow people, you just got dumbass mouthy fools everywhere.

I’ve seen much in my life time boy, and these japanese fools are asking for it as much as anyone else I’ve seen. You watch your lips now thinkin you can tell these folks what’s what in life.

It would be kinda hard for him to have done that as 2chan types rarely if ever go outside.
He wasa random mugger and a very poor one at that so it would be a fairly typical Japanese person who would mostly likely get attacked.
